The Strength of a Kiss

Dives eras quondam: sed tunc pedico fuisti et tibi nulla diu femina nota fuit. Nunc sectaris anus. O quantum cogit egestas! Illa fututorem te, Charideme, facit. You were once rich,  But then young men were your favourites, And for long no woman was known to you. Now you run after old crones. Oh, how compelling is poverty! It turns you, Charidemus, into a gallant.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 11, LXXXVII
